oompa,.

i'm sorry that you had to endure the pain you did.

regardless if you believe in god or not, what you were going through was sheer hell.. i'll keep this short, i won't eulogize you too long, 'cause i can kind of detect that you'd hate that.

Getting Back In (yes, its for family) What do I Say on 3rd Try?
by Meadow36 in
1. jw
2. friends
in my last meeting to be re-instated they said for next time figure out which person from the bible i'm most like.

and be ready to tell them what i pray about and how i feel about what i did to jehovah.

being honest , speaking from the heart about jesus forgiving peter and having a hard time answering the prayer question didn't work getting hysterical and nervous-breakdownish at the end didn't help, nor did running out of the hall after saying i could never do any better.

staying a witness
by J. Hofer in
1. jw
2. friends
the other day i overheard a conversation about jws and somebody said jws don't celebrate birthdays.

the other one said he has a few friends who are jws and while they don't celebrate their own birthdays, they do celebrate his.... then a thought crossed my mind: what if those of us who did not switch to another religion and have a somewhat non-jw lifestyle (not that hard) just keep saying we are jws?

given that there should be more ex-jws than jws by now, how would that influence the public view of jws?.

WT Lexicon
by 00DAD in
1. jw
2. friends
i was thinking it would be helpful if we put together a wt lexicon for those that are not too familiar with wt terminology.

it's important for them to understand these theocratic expressions so that they too can understand and speak the "pure language" of truth.

and of course, i had some fun with them... an older, brunette woman who obviously dyes her hair and could stand to lose a bit of weight, and a slim blonde teenage girl - probably around 15 - 17.... i started out by asking them if they knew how old the bible was.... .

(and unfortunately, i think i demonstrated that i wouldn't make a very good "undercover" bible study prospect... .

but they didn't even know how old - young - the bible was!!.
